What the name means: Lizard from Qianzhou
Qianzhousaurus was a predatory tyrannosaurid from China, a large relative of Alioramus, reaching up to 7.5 meters in length and living in the forests of the late Cretaceous period about 70 million years ago. The discovery of Qianzhousaurus showed that, along with Alioramus from Mongolia, long-snouted tyrannosaurids were widespread in Asia. Although scientists are just beginning to learn about them, long-snouted tyrannosaurids were apparently one of the main groups of predatory dinosaurs in Asia, living in relatively warm and humid subtropical climates.
